Homosexuality too is natural

It is true that in normal circumstances you need a man and a woman to found a family. The two genders complement each other in such a way that together they can produce offspring. No one can deny it. Heterosexuality – the bonding of the two opposite sexes – is natural. However, nature is complex. Scientific studies and human experience confirm that for some people a bonding between two men or between two women proves for them to be perfectly in harmony with nature. In their specific case it is perfectly natural.

Many people do not agree. They are upset and puzzled by this. We understand their concern and their way of thinking.

It does not help that the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome – a major authority in the Catholic Church – condemns all homosexual acts.

There are strong beliefs in certain Christian circles that declare homosexuality directly forbidden by the Creator. It goes counter to Natural Law, they say, and is intrinsically evil. But what is Natural Law? Read more.

Our emblem - based on an old illustration - shows Sophia, "Wisdom", in action.

She was God's architect who danced at creation (Proverbs 8,12-31). In the image she is teaching geometry to medieval scholars. We chose this for our emblem because it shows both respect for exact science and a recognition that the Spirit of God is at the root of all human research.
